#fastify

In my journey through Nodeland, I saw most teams struggling with the free-form nature of Node.js development: there are no guardrails for maximum flexibility. Yet, not all paths offer a smooth ride.
How to build applications that are well-organized, testable, and extendable? How could we build a codebase that would stand the test of time?
In this talk, we will explore how to avoid the trap of Singletons to create robust Node.js applications through the use of Fastify plugins: we will build a modular monolith!

First there was LAMP, then there was MEAN and JAM. But now it’s 2022 and times have changed… What does the modern full stack look like? It’s built entirely from free and open source technologies, it’s scalable beyond imagination, it can run on premise or in the cloud, it should get out of the way and not lead to vendor lock-in, and most importantly it should “just work.” There are so many tools to choose from. Choosing the right stack from day one can be the difference from project success to smoldering pile of software ashes. Using fastify, mercurius, urql, and react we can build high performance full-stack applications using all javascript technologies.

In my journey through nodeland, I always wonder about the cost of my abstractions.
I started a journey to write an HTTP framework with extremely low overhead, and Fastify was born. With its ability to reach an astonishing 90k requests/sec, Fastify can halve your cloud server bill.
In this talk, I will walk you through the basics of the framework: how to route requests, write tests, and use the plugin system.
